So... quite a few people have recently plucked up the courage to ask for feedback on the first ever track they have posted.

Unfortunately most have received rather scathing criticism rather than the encouragement they were hoping for.

So it would be an interesting experiment to see how many of these "Simon Cowell" types have the bottle to re:post the first track that they created.

After all, it's all about musical progression.

I'll start.
This is from circa 2006 (Ableton Live 6 I believe).
The project won't even load any more, but luckily I had an exported WAV file still in the project area.

I doubt there is any EQ, panning or sidechaining on this.
I think I had just learned that automation was a thing.
And yes that is a sampled Ace of Base trumpet on there.



Who's next?

 

My first track ever from 2012

 

My first ever track was from the mid-80s when I was in a punk band at school. It was called Heart Attack, dedicated to our headteacher who had just had one. Not sure what happened to the tape, I wish I still had a copy. The song was shit by the way.

 

Not my first track, but one of the first ones as one-man-show, as I had some projects before.
Made around 1998.

Warning: it's pretty repetitive.

Back once again for the Renegate master, D4 damage with the ill behavior.

 

Who needs a breakdown when a gong will suffice? (Black box)

 

Far too accomplished for a first effort. Null points for comedy value.

 

Here's literally the first thing I ever recorded. It was around 13 years ago and I was playing guitar for a few months. I keep this on my hard drive as a reminder.

Back then, I didn't even know what DAW or audio interface were :D I plugged jack straight into the microphone port on my PC (I used a jack -> mini jack adapter) and recorded everything in Audacity.

PS. Why does embedding audio files from Zippyshare not work properly?

Zippyshare blocks some countries apparently

 

You have won a new fan. Very imaginative - pace stress free. Very easy to understand.
I saved you in my Talented Musicians folder. At soundCloud, I'll be filing for you until the end of this world.

 

Actually, I was hoping for some good criticism, to see how to make my track better.
Don't try to think that I got let down with whatever feedback I got, cause I really didn't, I'm just glad I got some solid advice

P.S my first song link

Oh I'd like to. Must be still on my old Soundcloud account. Shame it got banned in my country and it doesn't let me log in through a VPN.
Yep, there it is. First thing I ever made.

Don't believe a single bit it was your first time making music. Post your actually first track. Make us cringe.

Accidental doublepost, please delete.

 

I do have one karaoke-like from like 13 years ago. I must admit it's one of the very few things that embarrasses me. Oh boy was I high. I'll search my encrypted files of my HD

 

^ I did not say that these where my first tracks ever.
My first tracks are in my parents house in Greece,recorded on a cassette tape,some later on DAT & on a Sony Hi-fi minidisc.
The tracks I posted above are some of the oldest files I have on my hard drives from 2013,have a great day !

 

my first track I ever put online... (10+ yr ago) with the DR202 I sold for weed money stupidly


More recent online post... (6yr ago) my cassette tape loop daze


Now I just make music for me to listen to when I'm high, Or I just fuck around with lofi beats and jazz cuts

 

Title : Jaygo2 - 1998. Was too much fun back then.

Tools : Cakewalk 8.0, Fruityloops 2.xx, Rebirth RB-338, Kurzweil K2VXS, Nord Lead 1, Pentium II 350 MHz PC.

Not my first track ever (probably my first tracks were just some Image Line Sytrus 303 or arp sound presets along with some drums and sweeps), but my first released track ever still available. Here's some bounce EDMish thing for you guys:
